1 Choose the correct option a, b, c or d

Corporate culture was recognised back in the 1980s

as describing the character of an organisation by

looking at the beliefs and the organisational

1 of its employees It includes things such as

the company’s 2 as well as its 3 code

The company structure is also taken into account,

particularly the 4 within a company A

company’s structure can be influenced by its

management 5 For example, if management

is adaptable and able to respond quickly to change,

employees may find that their jobs change

accordingly Technology has been one of the biggest

drivers of change Large tech companies tend to

encourage staff to solve problems in teams so the

6 -plan office has become popular once more

This allows staff to collaborate more closely with

each other, thus creating a good 7 within the

working environment There also tends to be more

8 in other areas such as what staff wear

These companies create the 9 of being

fast-paced and modern – in fact a wonderful organisation

to work for They aim to attract the best employees

so the pay 10 are often above average

2 Complete the text with the future continuous

or future perfect form of the verbs in brackets

What do you think you 1 (do) in ten years’ time? 2 (you / still / work) in our company or even living in the same country? What career goals

3 (you / achieve) by that time?

It’s not easy to plan for the future these days, both personally and from a corporate perspective, as the world changes so quickly We are not even sure what kind of jobs our employees

4 (do) We know that some traditional jobs 5

(disappear) by then, while developments in technology 6 (create) totally new kinds of work But we hope you are planning a future with us As far as our strategy to protect our future is concerned, we 7 (move) into several new markets and 8

(build) two new factories by that time Most significantly, we 9 (finish) developing the new smart fabric we’re working on As

A

Many companies are now offering their employees

sabbaticals in an attempt to retain valuable staff Due

to highly-pressurised work environments and being

constantly connected to work via technology, many staff

are stressed and tired, leading to illness or dissatisfaction

Ensuring that staff have effective downtime is just as

important as meeting work targets Sabbaticals are one

way of getting employees to stay with a company, but if

they have to stay in a pressured environment for five years

before they qualify for a sabbatical, then the effectiveness

of a sabbatical can be extremely limited

B

One company thought the answer to retaining experienced

staff was to introduce a sabbatical programme, but it was

unsuccessful The company offered excellent training for

new mangers and engineers, but over 50 percent left once

they had completed their training Surprisingly, although

salaries were not as competitive as those of rival

companies, they were not the main issue During staff exit

interviews, they indicated that the main problem was that

there were no clear career development paths In fact,

some older staff had been in the same position for twenty

years

C

Corporate culture is something that many potential

employees do not pay enough attention to when

researching a company The corporate culture can make a

company great to work for or a nightmare Someone could

have all the right qualifications, but might not fit into the

work environment because the culture is alien to them

Management therefore needs to clarify exactly what kind

of behaviour is expected of their staff and they need to

‘walk the talk’ themselves, i.e they need to be models of

that behaviour

D

Unfortunately, some companies have a culture of fear where staff are too worried about questioning anything for fear of losing their jobs To most people it’s obvious that this would not lead to effective working practices Sadly, the root of this fear comes from the top, the people who should be setting a positive example If leaders behave in

an unacceptable manner, it impacts on everyone within the organisation Unnecessary anger or criticism from a leader will demotivate even the most optimistic and enthusiastic

UNIT 3: Language and skills test

Companies both large and small are concerned about

profitability and yet they seem to manage to waste

resources in every area Small businesses are often so busy

that they have no time to keep an eye on savings; and

although huge multinationals can afford accountants to

keep track of spending, their companies often overlook

small amounts of wastage But these small amounts are

multiplied many times and therefore can become extremely

large sums of money

It is therefore necessary to regularly reassess expenditure

and look for ways to cut costs in order to boost profits The

changes required can seem obvious to outsiders, but not to

those busy running the company Often the first thing

companies look at are overheads (indirect costs, i.e money

that a business has to spend on rent, electricity, etc) and

direct costs (costs relating to a particular product or

service) One overhead cost for most companies is the

premises it uses So, the first question is: are the premises

being used efficiently or do they need to be smaller?

Alternatively, could unused space be rented out to other

businesses?

Other areas where overhead savings could be made are

within the common processes and procedures, which can

become disorganised across large organisations, and which

should therefore be standardised wherever possible

However, once a system or practice has been standardised,

the company must monitor how it is working and ensure

that employees are following any new procedures

Reviewing supplier contracts can also help to identify ways

of reducing costs A company should have the best deal

available from all its suppliers and needs to regularly

renegotiate terms with each one However, a word of

warning! Companies should be careful of cutting costs at

the expense of quality Using a cheaper supplier is the

quickest way to disaster if the quality is affected

A reassessment of any finance deals and loans is also wise

because cheaper deals may have become available

Cost-cutting ideas are not the only way to improve profits,

and increasing turnover and sales is vital This can be done

by re-evaluating the product or service and discovering new

ways of getting the most out of existing sales For example,

could a premium version of those products be added or the

product range extended? Another way to increase turnover

is to focus on selling more to your most loyal customers

Knowing your customer base well and having a good

rapport with them is very important Finally, companies

should try to remember their most valuable asset

Employees are often forgotten in the everyday operations of

a business, especially in larger companies Smaller family

businesses with little spare cash realise they cannot survive for long if the staff are unhappy and unable to work collaboratively In these businesses, management is still closely involved with the staff, but as a business grows managers tend to lose touch with the people who have built

up the company and keep it going

Therefore, in order to move forward, companies would be well advised to maximise the use of their skilled staff and focus on the value of employee contribution to the overall success of the business By building talented teams and creating an environment of support and reward for employees, the company will achieve its goals, which will

in turn lead to improved profitability

1 In the first paragraph, we learn that

a managers of smaller companies watch savings closely

b large organisations focus on profitability more than

small businesses

c large companies might ignore what seems like

insignificant waste

d small amounts of waste are unimportant

2 The writer suggests that companies

a often fail to see what is obvious

b usually pay far too much for overheads

c need to be busy all the time

d work with other companies to find space

3 When reducing overheads, the article also advises

a implementing more processes

b checking how staff are coping with new practices

c giving staff lots of practice with new systems

d operating different systems across the globe

4 In the fourth paragraph, the writer warns about

a repaying expensive financial deals too quickly

b agreeing to suppliers’ new terms and conditions

c damaging quality by cutting supplier costs

d borrowing from banks with cheaper rates

5 To improve turnover, the writer suggests companies

a increase sales to their best customers

b consider limiting the product line

c offer premium versions of new products

d market products to new customers

6 According to the article, employees

a prefer to work in smaller companies

b are happier in larger organisations

c are always distant from management

d are extremely important to success
